Metabolism doesn't melt it off

I hate my metabolism. While some people are able to eat like crazy and you could never tell it, I just look at food and I see the calories adding on to my body. It’s crazy, but it’s true. I know many of my friends who have appetites that far outstrip mine, and when it comes to eating, I am more careful because I don’t need the extra inches or the extra fat where my sculpted upper and lower abs and side obliques should be. However, my friends eat like crazy, and even with very little exercise they are burning the fat off. I need to melt it off in a quick overall exercise plan. A quick 3 day melting program would be the best for me. (I know my lifestyle would have to change, but I figure if there are good results it is worth it.)

Divide and Unite Files on GNU / Linux

In Windows there are many programs capable of cutting a file into several smaller ones and then go to together to form the original. It's very fashionable to send big things by mail or upload files to public servants who impose a maximum file size. The best known and is used Axe, and users of GNU / Linux we also have some alternatives for our system that are compatible with Windows programs chippers.


Dalle is a joint program to manage libraries and archives cut. One such programme is dalle-gtk, which displays a window in which you can select which of the two operations is to be realised: unite or divide a file several parts into one.
At its download page at Sourceforge is available for download the source code and a package DEB format for Ubuntu and Debian.





The list of supported formats is very broad:

Astrotite
Axman 3
Easy File Splitter
File Splitter
Generic
Axe (1, 2 and Pro)
KamaleoN (1 and 2)
MaxSplitter
SplitFile
Zip



Once installed we will have available the executable program. With Dallas-console can perform all tasks from the terminal.


Hoz, as Rubens says in his blog, is another Axe for GNU / Linux. It works in command line and is very easy to use.





If you want to attach multiple files it is best to put them all into a directory and execute the command:


sickle-p archivo.0 archivo.1 archivo.2> archivo_original


To split a file into several smaller (all put into the command), the command is very similar:


sickle-c archivo_original> archivo.0 archivo.1 archivo.2


Hoz is in the repositories of most distributions, but also the source code can be downloaded from the website of the project.


Thanks for the idea, Gabriel.

Aiming for Major League

The phone has rung on 14 different occasions and Jaime Torres expects more calls. All callers ask for Dayanara Viciedo. All want to know if the the barely 19 year old player is able to don a Major League uniform and leave the field and play for his country and internationally.

Viciedo has an answer for them.

"I'm ready to play in the Major Leagues,' 'said the young man at a press conference that resembled some of the conferences of baseball star Joe Francis. This interview took place on Monday in the Extreme Baseball Academy in Hialeah, which is owned by the former Cuban Joe Luis Toca.

Torres, his agent, is also convinced of this and so assured that he will exhaust all legal steps so Viciedo can be declared a free agent without leaving the country and thus make the step towards the goal that is the dream of Cuban baseball: playing in the Seniors.

"Since the college draft happened, so the intention is to communicate with the office of the commissioner of the Major League and also with the players' association so he is declared a free agent here in the U.S. His eyes are set on the Major League, and maybe we will have a Joe Francis in the making."
